Pounded yam is one of the Nigerian “swallow” meals made from Boiled white yams and pounded. It’s made as an accompaniment for Nigerian soups. Traditionally, pounded yam swallow is made by pounding but these days due to the stress involved in pounding yams, most people are drifting towards the powdered version as a quicker alternative. Though the powdered version is quicker and more convenient, I’ve come to realize it tastes nothing like the real pounded yam made from scratch……yes i said it :D. here’s how to make pounded yam from scratch.
Update: There’s a new method to check out: How to make pounded yam in a blender.

Thanks Nitie :)……Would try it out and let you know how it goes.
I have never been a fan of Poundo yam (yam flour) because like you said, the taste isn't just the same as the real thing but last weekend I visited my sis and she prepared it and, I was quite impressed and I ate and even asked for more. You know yam is generally a little sweet tasting, what she did was add two cubes of sugar to the boiling water before she now "turned" the flour. I suggest you try it, u may like it, just like me cos I sharply went and bought my first pack of yam flour
That sounds like a nice idea. Would definitely try it out. Thanks for the tip mercy 🙂
Thanks for the tip, would def try it
Do keep us posted 🙂
I have not tried it but I'm a bit confused on the video showing raw washed yam blended and the steps highlighted stating boiled yam.pls clarify
You are a very smart individual!
